Using sdhc card from boot

My Eee PC 901 runs Ubuntu. I have no hard disk, but just an internal sd card, and an additional inserted sdhc card in the sd card slot.
I wanted to have all my /home stuff on the external card, so that in case of crash, I can just buy a new card. The internal card is more difficult to replace, so I want to use the external card for whatever possible.

As the ext card has my /home directory, I need it to be available on boot.

With lsusb I found the details of my card, and then added an udev rule

jan@eee901:~/svn/hydra_test$ more /etc/udev/rules.d/01-jankester.rules
#ID_SERIAL_SHORT=058F63356336
#ID_FS_UUID=dd4cb63c-0329-4dc6-8ca8-c2e68b9d233e
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{serial}=="058F63356336", NAME="SDHC", OPTIONS+="last_rule", RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/SDHC"

Now I added entry in fstab:
/dev/SDHC /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0

Create a groovy console and bind to selenium

Required groovy files In the previous posting we defined the pom file that we need for our build environment. Now we will setup some groovy files to get selenium and groovy running interactively. ConsoleWaiter.groovy The idea of Groovy Console I found on some other sides. Honour goes for instance too: http://josefbetancourt.wordpress.com/tag/eclipse-2/ I copied some code of this, and put it under src/test/groovy/com/jankester/selenium/test/utils: package com.jankester.selenium.test.utils /** * File: ConsoleWaiter.groovy */ import groovy.lang.Binding; import groovy.ui.Console; /** * Provides a wrapper for the console. * * Based on source by John Green * Adapted from: http://www.oehive.org/files/ConsoleWaiter.groovy * Released under the Eclipse Public License * http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html * * I added methods to allow use from Java. * * The run() method launches the console and causes this thread * to sleep until the console's window is closed.

Junit4 running parallel junit classes

To run junit testcases parallel, you can create your own class to run junit with: Add this tag to your class declaration. @RunWith(Parallelized.class) Implementation of this class looks like: package mypackage; import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService; import java.util.concurrent.Executors; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import org.junit.runners.Parameterized; import org.junit.runners.model.RunnerScheduler; public class Parallelized extends Parameterized {         private static class ThreadPoolScheduler implements RunnerScheduler     {         private ExecutorService executor;                 public ThreadPoolScheduler()         {             String threads = System.getProperty("junit.parallel.threads", "16");             int numThreads = Integer.parseInt(threads);             executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(numThreads);         }                 public void finished()         {             executor.shutdown();             try
